I would say US has best basic infantry while okw have better elite infantry while still having very good infantry each faction has a very good doctrinal special forces unit out of these the usf has best imo with army rangers and paratroopers. Soviets have shock troops, guards rifle and assualt ,wer have stormtroopers, brits got commandos,okw got there paratroopers

IMO the UKF have the best core infantry, while they do cost a lot they're arguably the most OP infantry in the game

the think that bothers me about them is they have a bad habbit of having all their bullets hit the cover there behind

OKW then Wehrmacht have the best infantry in that order.

OKW starts with a shock infantry unit that is easily the best combat engineer unit in the game and then an inexpensive 5 man core infantry unit which is also the best core infantry unit in the game roughly equal to USF Riflemen but much much more cost effective and scalable. After that you have Obersoldaten that are far superior to any non-doc Allied infantry unit that can 1v1 an allied machine gun head on and win even without their OP grenade. And then add in the fact that all these units get 5 levels of veterancy.

Okw has best quality.
Vet 5 obersoldaten :)

Uk infantry felt pretty tough to me. On the other hand US can give weapons to all infantry even their engineers. Pretty strong imo. Who needs at guns when you have three squads with double bazookas.

Imo ukf has the best, especially if they can get a vickers k mg

Depends on what kind of combat engagement plan you have in mind
on a 1 on 1, out of mainline usf riflemen have good 5 man survivability and extremely high close range dps, and if in cover ukf tommies can't lose to any other mainline, so those are the 2 best squads from short-medium to medium-long range

conscripts aren't that strong but guards are

obersoldaten dps wise are very good, but 4 man survivability, and volksgrens are not particularly good, although early sturmpios help a bit

wehrmacht doesn't have much going for it infantry wise, grens can beat most other squads bar tommies only at long range and doctrinals aren't that strong, cmiiw

this is all so wrong in many ways. I mean talking about on paper stats of course is not the way you play the game.

Riflemen wont be closing on any unit which is in cover. Gren and volk will drop the 1st rifle model before you close in and 2nd model after you are close to them.

And for cons they are strong. I can hold 2-3 grens with one cons squad sooooo.....no, cons can hold lots of infantry in green cover. ppsh cons are still strong with good scaling.

Volks are as i stated above are very good aswell and since they can build their own green cover like brits and cons they perform well as well. Early sturms are only good in cqc maps and open maps with good sight blockers. They are rubbish against anything at ranged combat.

No, brits cant beat every main infantry in game. Also they cant flank properly and they lack team weapon supports hard. After initial skirmish phase any upgraded and vetted infantry will eat tommies for breakfast. Brens are utter ♥♥♥♥ now. So good luck.

Wehr has the best weapons to deal with everything. just dont forget to build sandbags with pioneers for grens around the map and where you wanna fight. For long range lmg42 shreds and g43 has nice dps and on the move boost. After the initial skirmish phase you can call stormtroopers to boost infantry action or just go pgrens for more wrecking.

i didnt ever mention riflemen closing in on any unit in cover, i just said

which is true

talking on paper stats is the only way to compare

you're literally just repeating me, early sturms are good, most maps have cqc, are you also gonna tell me shocks are bad at ranged combat?

yes, brits in cover (i specifically mentioned in cover) can beat any other main infantry, i never mentioned flanking or team weapon supports

yes, pgrens, grens and stormtroopers are okay, i know, thank you very much, but when you're asking 'which faction has the highest quality infantry' they do not stand out in anything, and the same goes for volks

you definitely cannot beat 2-3 grens with a single con unless you're in green and they're in red, con vs gren 1v1 is fairly balanced and depends on distances and covers

OKW

Sturms, Volks, Obers. Even Panzerfusiliers (the best infantry unit in the game) or Falls as doctrinal. And they all vet up into the stratosphere.
CUMHOUND420 Jul 21, 2018 @ 10:06am 
talking about core or basic infantry the thing goes like this UKS-OKW-USA-WERH-SOV

I'm pretty sure USf riflemen cant teleport so your paper stats are worthless when you cant use them

You never mentioned anything about sturms being good ''early sturms help a bit'' isnt exactly showcase of the unit. Plus it is in the same boat with USF riflemen cant do this unless you explain how they work.

ahahah wow g43 grens, Stormtroopers and pgrens dont stand out? Have you even played the game? Stormtrooper tactical advance is pretty much what makes it stand out. So yeah they pretty much stand out. Same doesnt goes for volks almost every mainline infantry are balanced if you know how to use their strenghts.

Nope tommies are only good at initial skirmish phase. Then they dont scale or get good upgrades and they are rubbish.

You can beat 2-3 pre t1 grens with cons in green vs yellow cover l2p.

oh look its this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ again :D. If you think riflemen are weak just because they cant always be at close range thats just incorrect. what have u got against the US as a faction? you always say they are ♥♥♥♥ and brits as well but i can agree with brits.
